Game of Thrones fever hits Hurawalhi Maldives

The long, long wait for the eight and final season of Game of Thrones is finally over, and the team and guests at Hurawalhi Maldives are no exception when it comes to securing themselves the most comfortable chairs as the quest to find out what the future will hold for the Seven Kingdoms of Westeros.

While located in the middle of the Indian Ocean, no one is living under a rock in the north of the Maldives at Hurawalhi – on the contrary, Hurawalhi is in fact a naturally chic, adults-only luxury resort that knows exactly what rocks its guests’ boats, which is why a Game of Thrones-themed pinball machine has been installed in The Games Room at Coco Bar.

“The pinball machine is a real hit (so popular that it’s in fact a part of our bucket list suggestions!), and we feel kind of sorry for Pac Man, which we feel might be a bit neglected over the coming month as everyone will want to be the knight to get the highest score,” an announcement said.

“Seek the shade during the day’s hottest hours by playing a game or twenty at The Games Room and prepare for long, long nights!”

Officially inaugurated in January 2016, the five-star Hurawalhi resort is accessible by a 40-minute scenic seaplane flight from the main airport, and offers 90 villas, including 60 Ocean Villas and 30 Beach Villas, for grown-ups who are seeking luxury and innovation. The villas are stylishly and beautifully conceived featuring soothing décor, sumptuous linens on king size beds, bleached wooden floors, and private terraces with panoramic views.

There is an ocean of delights to take in at Hurawalhi: dining at 5.8 Undersea Restaurant, snuggling up with your darling under a blanket or sparkling stars on the iconic Dream Island sandbank, falling in love with the plethora of marine life on the island’s doorstep – in fact, one visit to the resort is hardly enough to experience it all.
